A bunch of us headed down to the Berkeley Human Genome Variation meeting the other week. The program is here:

there were a bunch of fun talks, and it was a great chance to meet new people and catch up with old friends.

There’s a review of some of the talks here:

Carlos Bustamante (one of the speakers) also just visited Davis and gave a great talk on his work on human population structure.
